IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUTIONS
WARNING: Extreme care should be taken
when stripping paint. The peelings, residue and
vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any pre-1977 paint may contain lead and paint
applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain
lead. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure
to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage; young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you
should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who uses a
paint analyzer to check the lead content of the paint
to be removed. LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY
BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD
NOT BE REMOVED USING A HEAT GUN.
Persons removing paint should follow these
guidelines:
Move the work piece outdoors. If this is not
possible, keep the work area well ventilated.
Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in
one of them. Be sure the fan is moving the air
from inside to outside.
Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture,
clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.
Place drop cloths in the work area to catch
any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective
clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls
and hats.
Work in one room at a time. Furnishings
should be removed or placed in the center
of the room and covered. Work areas should
be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by
sealing doorways with drop cloths.
Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant
women and nursing mothers should not be
present in the work area until the work is done
and all clean up is complete.
Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual fi lter
(dust and fume) respirator mask which has
been approved by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA), the National
Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the
United States Bureau of Mines. These masks
and replaceable fi lters are readily available
at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask
fi ts. Beards and facial hair may keep masks
from sealing properly. Change fi lters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT
ADEQUATE.
Use caution when operating the heat gun.
Keep the heat gun moving as excessive heat
will generate fumes which can be inhaled by
the operator.
Keep food and drink out of the work area.
Wash hands, arms and face and rinse mouth
before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or
chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet
mopping the fl oors. Use a wet cloth to clean all
walls, sills and any other surface where paint
or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST
OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent
or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and
mop areas.
At the end of each work session put the paint
chips and debris in a double plastic bag,
close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of
properly.
Remove protective clothing and work shoes in
the work area to avoid carrying dust into the
2
English
rest of the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is
then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair
and body thoroughly with soap and water.
Hidden areas such as behind walls, ceilings,
fl oors, soffi t boards and other panels may
contain fl ammable materials that could be
ignited by the heat gun when working in these
locations. The ignition of these materials may
not be readily apparent and could result in
property damage and injury to persons.
When working in these locations, keep the
heat gun moving in a back-and-forth motion.
Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite
the panel or the material behind it.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEAT GUN
Do not place your hand over the air vents or
block the vents in any way.
The nozzle and accessories of this tool
become extremely hot during use. Let these
parts cool down before touching.
Always switch the tool off before putting it
down.
Do not leave the tool unattended while it is
switched on.
A fi re may arise if the appliance is not used
with care.
Heat may be conducted to combustible mate-
rials that are out of sight. Do not use in a damp
atmosphere, where fl ammable gases may be
present or near combustible materials.
Allow the tool to cool fully before storing.
Ensure adequate ventilation as toxic fumes
may be produced.
Do not use as a hairdryer.
Do not obstruct either the air intake or noz-
zle outlet, as this may cause excessive heat
build-up resulting in damage to the tool.
Do not direct the hot air blast at other people.
Do not touch the metal nozzle as it becomes
very hot during use and remains hot for up to
30 minutes after use.
Do not place the nozzle against anything while
using or immediately after use.
Do not poke anything down the nozzle as it could
give you an electric shock. Do not look down the
nozzle while the unit is working because of the
high temperature being produced.
Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle or
scraper as it could ignite after some time.
Removing paint
Do not use this tool to remove paint containing
lead. The peelings, residue and vapors of paint
may contain lead, which is poisonous. Any
pre-1960 building may have been painted in
the past with paint containing lead and covered with additional layers of paint.
Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure even to low levels of lead can cause
irreversible damage to the brain and nervous
system. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
When removing paint, ensure that the work
area is enclosed. Preferably wear a dust mask.
Do not burn the paint. Use the scraper and
keep the nozzle at least 25 mm away from the
painted surface. When working in a vertical
direction, work downwards to prevent paint
from falling into the tool and burning.
Dispose of all paint debris safely and ensure
that the work area is thoroughly cleaned after
completing the work.
This tool has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fi t in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualifi ed persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Do not apply to the same place for a long time.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. If operating a power tool on a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inad-
vertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this tool must
not be supplied through an external switching device,
such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
